I'm looking for information on how to set up a mailing list server for college-related work, similar to the one we're interacting with here.
It will consist of two lists: 1)An announce list, for one-way communication from the college to the students (official announcements, things like that). 2) A discuss list, for discussion among students. This will be a MUCH more informal affair, and much higher volume. A requirement for both the lists is that it should be able to set up tagging rules for each user. For instance, on the "announce" list, a user may say that if a mail contains the tags [COMP] or [ENTC], it should be sent to him. Or a user on the "discuss" list may say that all things marked [OT] will not be sent to him. The above is not a requirement set in stone, however. Even without tag-based rules, it'll be possible to manage. Size restrictions on mail are, I take it, something which can be set up using the mailing list software itself. I don't want to enable HTML mail because of the nature of the userbase I'm going to deal with. I also want to find out information as to how to set up a web-based interface to the list, such as we have on our PLUG list, for users to manage their settings. -- धर्म एव हतो हन्ति धर्मो रक्षति रक्षितः। तस्माद् धर्मो न हन्तव्यो मा नो धर्मो हतोऽवधीत्॥
